Win32: warn if the console font doesn't support Unicode

Unicode console output won't display correctly with default settings
because the default console font ("Terminal") only supports the system's
OEM charset. Unfortunately, this is a user specific setting, so it cannot
be easily fixed by e.g. some registry tricks in the setup program.

This change prints a warning on exit if console output contained non-ascii
characters and the console font is supposedly not a TrueType font (which
usually have decent Unicode support).
